论哲学研究的对象

虽然哲学是一门古老的学科，但是，即使在什么是哲学、什么是哲学研究的对象这一带根本性的问题上，哲学家们也从来没有达成过共识。改革开放以前，我国哲学界的主导观点是把哲学的研究对象规定为整个世界及其规律。然而，改革开放以来，在这一问题上又产生了严重观点分歧。本文对这些观点进行了概括和评析。作者认为，哲学是一个学科群，一个以世界观或本体论为核心的不同层次、不同领域和不同方面的部门哲学群，部门哲学的数量虽然难以确定，但世界观、本体论是不可缺乏的。

On the Object for Philosophical Research

Philosophers have never reached a consensus about the fundamental questions concerning what philosophy is, and what the object for philosophical research is, although philosophy is one of the oldest subjects. A leading view in the field of philosophy in China, before China's reform, is to study the rules that govern the whole world. Since the reform, nevertheless, there have been stark divisions over the issue. The author argues, upon a general analytical review of the different viewpoints, that the field of philosophy refers to a cluster of research subjects. The core is the study of the world view or ontology, whereas the other parts are subdivided into various levels and areas of divisions.
